The Shipbuilders' Colloquia will take place on Friday, November 10, starting with 11:00, in Hall D01, Mr. Rear Admiral of the flotilla (rtr.), Eng. Constantin RUSU, PhD, president of the Naval League, Bucharest branch, proposes a new topic for debate, extremely interesting and current, regarding the context of conflicts involving military ships in the Black Sea and Eastern Mediterranean. It is a question of quickly and accurately detecting ships that may become a threat, but also of reducing the visibility of one's own vessel.

Massive metal-built ships equipped with heat engines, sonar and radar generate more than 30 physical fields, but their degree of manifestation is not the same. The ship's physical field is the area of the airborne or water environment where changes in the environmental state characteristics are caused by the ship.

The most common physical fields of the ship in terms of study and application are: acoustic field (sometimes referred to as "vibro-acoustic"), magnetic field, thermal field, electromagnetic field, electric field, and hydrodynamic field. These fields are analyzed regarding the application (manifestation) in unitary variants or in combined variants.

The presentation will only address the acoustic field, magnetic field, and thermal field, as all three have a significant impact on the safety of the ship in the modern naval warfare. The degree of manifestation of the other physical fields is reduced, manifesting at close distances in the maritime theater.

To reduce the ship's footprint (signature), specialized departments of researchers are looking for new efficient technical solutions.

It has been found that civilian ships, through their fields, can also affect the environment and silencing methods are sought in this area as well.

Mr. Rear Admiral, RUSU, will present, for each field, the measures to be taken during the design, construction, and operation of the ship. International research is ongoing, including:

• Integrated ship fingerprint (signature) control design;
• Radar cross-section measurement and diagnostic technologies;
• Data acquisition, processing and designing systems;
• Development of the theory and analysis of electromagnetic enprints.

 
We invite you to participate at this event.
